Testimonials

  • Claire’s retreat was such a joyful and replenishing experience. Claire puts so much effort into choosing the most beautiful location, creating gorgeous yoga flows with yoga philosophy and music weaved throughout, and arranging the most delicious food (Chloe’s cooking was absolutely amazing!). Like most people there, I went on my own which was slightly nerve wracking - but Claire creates such an open and welcoming atmosphere that I felt totally comfortable in the group from day one. I can’t recommend it enough! Thank you so so much for everything you put into creating that retreat weekend. You really do have a gift for creating these kinds of welcoming and connected spaces.

  • There are no words for the magic that Claire creates, both in her classes and on retreat. Not only does she manage to inspire and bring together a wonderful group of beautiful, kind souls, she nurtures each and every person to bring their best self to practice and to life. The retreat was everything and more: we had the chance to deepen our yoga practice, come home physically and spiritually, soak in the beauty and lushness of Scotland, eat delicious food, and bond incredibly quickly thanks to Claire’s gentle encouragement to always show up as we are. This retreat is quite possibly the biggest blessing I have ever received. Claire’s gifts of empathy, wisdom and patience are rare and special and were so lucky to have her (and assistant, Rosie) taking us on this journey. I could not be more grateful.

  • Claire's retreat at Finca el Moro totally surpassed my expectations. I absolutely loved the breadth and depth of the practices that Claire shared with us - all of which were shared with such authenticity and love. It was such a joy to spend the first hour of the day in Sadhana followed by 360 degree movement in a shala practically built for that exact purpose! Claire's ability to guide us through all the practices but in particular the embodied yoga practices which can be more challenging was amazing. Finca el Moro has a very special energy - from the cottages across the farm to the fresh produce which was used to create the most beautifully nourishing meal - it was the perfect setting for a perfect week

  • What an amazing five days in sunny Scotland! A really magical place, emersed in nature with beautiful views. the fresh mountain air was truly invigorating and I felt so refreshed by the end of the time there, also helped by the amazing Scottish inspired food! Needless to say, Claire's yoga classes were the real highlight, very well paced and imaginative, Claire was very in tune with the groups need and can modify her offering to suit making it a very inclusive, rewarding experience. Would 100% go back and recommend to anyone!

  • The retreat was truly, truly sensational. I loved it from start to finish and I think, it would have been amazing to just do your incredible yoga but what really made it was your teachings and how much you clearly, really believe and have put so much effort into channeling these. It’s given me so much to think about and although I’ve had a massively busy week, the teachings have really reminded me to slow down and be in my body and be in the moment. Thank you so much, I appreciated the retreat an unbelievable amount and I think it’s going to have little trickles into my life for, hopefully forever and I’ll continue to learn about Tantra.

  • Thank you so much again for SUCH a beautiful week - amazing yoga, meditation and guided contemplations, beautiful people and exactly what I needed to hear and how I needed to move. Thank you as always for helping me to come back down to Earth and to my body. You really are an incredibly special yoga teacher and I feel so fortunate to call you a friend too. The women you attract into your community are incredible and that’s really the cherry on top of the cake of joining your retreats!

  • I've practised with Claire for a number of years and she is an incredibly special teacher... There's always a magic with what she offers. I made the decision to book her retreat in Spain without thinking too much about what to expect and it completely blew me away. Claire planned it to perfection. Everyday was a different exploration of the elements and the morning practice with meditation, reflection and journaling was a real highlight. The embodied movement class was both challenging and incredible - in the best way. I personally found it so moving and liberating. I truly feel that this is her calling and she has been teaching for decades. I already can't wait to sign up for more retreats with Claire for next year.

    Abi

  • Pure magic and food for the soul - Claire's retreats are the antidote to modern life. For the second year running, Claire completely overdelivered. I left with my soul lighter and body freer. Every single practice moved me deeply: the movement was liquid poetry and the accompanying teachings equally profound. Every day, a new layer shed and I felt lighter and more joyous. I left with a new lease on life. How I felt during and after the week: embodied, uplifted, inspired, nourished, encouraged, loved, safe. Thank you Claire for another wonderful, life-changing experience. You are truly special and I am grateful for all that you've added to my life in our years practising together. Words cannot convey how much your retreat has, once again, moved me and changed my life!

  • The Earth & Sky retreat with Claire was the most rejuvenating 4 days I have had in a very long time. Claire created such a warm, welcoming and nurturing atmosphere throughout the retreat - especially appreciated by me as a retreat novice. It felt like a mental as well as a physical bear hug. Claire led the retreat with such passion, care and thought in designing the retreat so the practice flowed naturally from the tantric philosophy expressed so powerfully in the meditations. From the idyllic location, the warmth and depth of connection and energy created within the group – Claire’s wonderful alchemy made for a wonderfully restorative and inspiring experience. And all topped off by shooting stars and turquoise dragonflies!

  • Thank you so much for an incredible week and truly transformative experience. This will be an experience that I'll take away and keep with me for a long time and that will continue to change me. The gorgeous Finca and magical shala set the scene and lay the groundwork but it was your beautiful flows and inspiring teachings that really made this such a special time and most of all your very special brand of magic. The mental, spiritual, emotional and physical practices connected day to day and meant the whole week felt like a gorgeous and natural crescendo which all connected deeply and felt like the natural unfolding of a journey. Everything felt so harmonious, whole, connected and one. I'm so grateful for and in awe of all the careful thought and planning and love and effort you've put into this. I still really can't express how amazing and magical and perfect this week has been. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and creating such a magical and transformative journey and taking me/us on it.

  • Thank you, from the deepest parts of my heart, for all your energy you dedicate to creating experiences for all of us beings to come together and feel the best parts of life. Your spirit is exceptionally magnetic, kind, self aware, intune, and just wonderful to be around - from talking to you by the pool, at dinners, catching your eyes during embodied movement to the thankyous after practice. Your earthy energy creating engaging mandalas and airy gifts bringing us music that takes us to new dimensions inside the Shala that you have to recreate at home as it’s just too sad to enter into reality too quickly. The Finca you chose was so perfect, so inspiring for my future, the food and Daisy was top notch and having major withdrawals from the farm fresh meals handmade with Spanish love. Our closing circle truly showed me how deep the wells of your heart and soul are and you share yourself with us so vulnerably and beautifully - it’s so inspiring and makes me feel so safe to be in your company. A true pleasure, a true joy and memories that will last me a lifetime, taking home energy of vitality, joy and embodiment.

  • Claire is an incredible and very special yoga teacher. She's open, accepting, and caring towards each one of her students. I feel Claire really lives and breathes the practices she teaches: embodiment, yoga, and tantric philosophy. She brings a thoughtful and unique spin to yoga that really brings it alive and makes it an immersive and elevated experience. Her mandala flows are exciting for both body and mind, and her yin and meditations are deeply restorative. Claire has put so much thought and care into designing retreats not only day by day but moment to moment. Everything unfolded so beautifully, from the morning meditations, breathwork, and journal prompts to the yoga sequences and carefully curated playlists. A retreat with Claire is a transformative experience that I highly recommend

    Sarah

  • I've spent a weekend surrounded by kind souls in a safe and comfortable space that energetically felt like being inside a cosy marshmallow. Claire is an amazing, gentle, attentive yoga teacher who is very present. I am so lucky to have met her and so happy to receive her teachings that improve my daily life. I would highly recommend her classes and Scotland retreat.

    Lina

  • It’s hard to put the week into words, it was sensational from start to finish. The setting, the incredible people I met, Claire’s beautiful flows and words. It was both profound and amazing fun. I have taken from it a sense of lightness and the seeds for a new direction in my life. I am so pleased I went and to be honest can’t wait to go to another. Thank you Claire for your magical soul.

    Mary

  • If you are on the fence about whether or not to attend a yoga retreat with Claire, let me wholeheartedly recommend it. I attended her Home retreat in Scotland, and it was such an enriching & healing experience. It was such a beautiful time cultivating community with other women and diving deeper into a sense of self. I would do it again 100 times over!

    Allison

  • I don’t say this lightly, but Claire’s Scottish retreat was genuinely life changing. It was incredibly special to spend that much time practicing yoga with her and it opened up something in me that I didn’t really know existed. Claire’s approach is so unique and nourishing for the soul. The location was breathtaking and the company was gorgeous - I couldn’t have asked for more connection to nature, community and ultimately myself. I truly felt home.

    Laura

  • I truly felt so held in the beautiful space that Claire cultivated. Surrounded by stunning Scottish landscape, Claire created a container where the chaotic energy I had been carrying around for a while could be stripped back, allowing me to feel totally at ease and to just be; a "returning Home" to my Self. The twice daily yoga practise was magical, the food unbelievably delicious and it was so special to be able to rest and reset with such a gorgeous group of humans. Thank you Claire - best snap decision ever made.

    Izzy

  • I was feeling nervous and intimidated going to my first yoga retreat without any friends, but I took a leap and booked anyway because I trusted that Claire would plan a great weekend and that good energy attracts good energy—and I was right :) Claire put so much thought into the daily flows, quotes, playlists, meals, journaling prompts, etc. Everyone in attendance was a lovely, open, kind soul. I’m so glad I went out of my comfort zone because this retreat was so much more than I imagined it could be. I left feeling connected, nourished, and whole.
